Words that rhyme with Hitch
Start from the sound: hitch is a one-syllable word on the tight /ɪ/, and it lands on an affricate. The lyric earns it by placement, not by selection. Pool data: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, the family column is blank, and the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a word everyone uses. Use the assonance pool freely; the ear treats most of those matches as rhymes.

Why hitch rhymes the way it does
Hitch sits on the tight /ɪ/, transcribed /ɪ/ in our engine, and lands on an affricate. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 24 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 8, assonance 7,070, and consonance 148. The empty family column matters less than it looks. Family rhymes are a strict-classifier construct; the songwriter's ear accepts most assonance matches in their place. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Hitch is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
