Default Coax and Dipole

I'm putting up an offset dipole. I'm attaching a 4:1 balun. I'm running
RG-8 to the balun. The dipole will be attached at 20' and the other end will
be about 40'. My question is can the coax be tie-straped to the short end
of the dipole antenna wire and run back with it toward the houes? This is
basically to keep a big loop from hanging down and also keeping the wife
happy since it would look much cleaner. I didn't know if this would have a
large impact on operation or not.
