Android button background is covering up button text

I have a button that looks as I want it. The only issue is that it covers up the text. I know that it covers it and that the text shows behind it, because if I remove the android:background attribute, the text is shown.

My goal is to have the button, with its text on top of the button.

Here is my button:

<Button
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="65dp"
    android:layout_margin="30dp"
    android:background="@drawable/timecrunchbutton"
    android:text="Test"
    android:textColor="@color/white"/>

As well as the timecrunchbutton.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg" >
    <item android:state_pressed="true" >
        <layer-list xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg">
            <!-- Top 1dp Shadow -->
            <item>
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                    <solid android:color="@color/blue" />
                    <corners android:radius="7dp" />
                </shape>
            </item>
            <!-- Light bottom color -->
            <item android:top="1dp">
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                    <solid android:color="@color/darkblue" />
                    <corners android:radius="7dp" />
                    <stroke android:width="1px" android:color="#248349"/>
                    <padding
                        android:top="28dp"
                        android:bottom="36dp" />
                </shape>
            </item>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
    <item>
        <layer-list xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg">
            <!-- Bottom 3dp Shadow -->
            <item>
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                    <solid android:color="@color/darkblue" />
                    <corners android:radius="7dp" />
                </shape>
            </item>
            <!-- Light top color -->
            <item android:bottom="3dp">
                <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                    <solid android:color="@color/blue" />
                    <corners android:radius="7dp" />
                    <stroke android:width="1px" android:color="#22A863"/>
                    <padding
                        android:top="36dp"
                        android:bottom="28dp" />
                </shape>
            </item>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
</selector>
