I don't pretend to be very good at gleaning song meanings, but this one is pretty straight-forward. What I find interesting is the play on words: "You're gonna crash on the barrelhead" being so close to the phrase "Cash on the barrelhead."
If the song is a warning about the wayward life of a young man, with his excesses in drinking and whoring around, then the reference to cash on the barrelhead becomes more intereesting.
