Words that rhyme with Lon
The phonetic facts first: lon is one-syllable, the rhyme-bearing vowel is the open /ษ/, and the line lets the nasal carry the tail. It's a word everyone uses โ which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. In a song, the word is a word the lyric earns weight from by context. Behind it, the rhyme map shows you won't run short of perfect rhymes, family rhymes contribute a handful of voice-pair near-perfects, and the assonance bucket is the workhorse here. Take the strict matches first; they have more range than the count suggests.

Why lon rhymes the way it does
In our engine, lon registers as a one-syllable word on the short /ษ/ (/ษ/) that lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 80 matches, family rhymes 30, additive and subtractive together 155, assonance 5,663, and consonance 1467. That's a generous landscape on both axes. A song can stay in strict rhymes across a verse without repeating itself, then drop into family rhymes for the bridge. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Lon rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
