I almost preferred TheToner's allegorical interpretation of Mr. Lightfoot's alchoholism. But I can't reconcile the notion of the threat. (sundown you better take care). Who is he warning? The bottle? Perhaps the lyric is more literal than metaphorical. See some of his other lyrics, he's not real complicated. Or maybe that's just me. Not complicated.
